The King Hussein Memorial Fulbright Scholarship Program offers highly qualified Jordanian students or scholars yearly to pursue advanced study in fields relevant to international conflict resolution and mediation studies, international affairs, government and politics, civic education, public administration, environmental protection and conservation and water resource management. Additionally, the U.S. recognizes Arabic as a critical foreign language and invites students and young teachers to teach their native language at American universities through the Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant (FLTA) Program.
